My favourite thing about collecting things like this is the artworks, they look so cool, something I think thats missing these days.
I can’t believe The Killing Fields was $80 back in the 1980’s. No wonder recording movies with two VCR‘s was so popular.
Remember the price for Laser Discs?
They need to bring vhs tapes with current movies.I see it coming back in the future.
I bet you see a lot of opened, yet rare, VHS tapes that you are not interested in. You might even have some rare Horror VHS tapes you don't want to keep because they are not sealed? If so, please get up with me, I'd love to have a chance to get the opened rare horror VHS tapes you may have access to, but are not interested in for your collection. Your collection is so massive. Gracious. Awesome & beautiful. Just thought I should inquire. Good luck in the future. Peace. J.
Very good video. Precious infometions
Great informative video! Will keep this in mind when i got search for VHS at thrift stores!
Thank you for all this great information. I just started my TH-cam channel and your information will be very helpful going through my Dad's huge collection of VHS tapes. 👍
Any straw?
Interesting, thanks for your time.
Great info! For newbies like us, there's probably a lot more to learn. Any online directory resource you can point us to, to check tapes valuation or at least see nuances on publications?
Great job! Another awesome VHS video! Well done.
Thank you!
Best video I've seen on the hobby.I hope you keep making them.I made sure I subbed too.
Thank you, very much appreciated! I will try to work on some more soon!
Fantastic content! New subscriber!
Man you have a crazy collection.. Need to find a sealed Jaws soon . Great video and info btw
Thanks Brother! Keep looking, you will find one!
Brilliant insight. Amazing of you taking the time to make these. Cheers
I'm glad you enjoyed, thanks for the support!
This is very informative. Thanks! I just got into sealed VHS about 6 months ago.
@@JohnSmith-zl8rz how do you know?I think I said the same thing about 5 years ago and boy was I wrong.
Interesting. Thanks 🙏
Perfect for a Beginner to the VHS market. THANK YOU♡
I got a ‘coockos nest’ today with a beautiful WB watermark right on Jack Nicholson face. Alonso Like a neck tattoo lol. I sell vhs on eBay so I’m always on the look out for the more unique watermark placement and variant covers. Never any home runs...yet.
I buy up all the sealed ones I can, you never know. Something subtle I may over look at the time, an unexpected death, or scandal can up the value of almost any collectable.
That's awesome, and agreed great front watermarks definitely make a tape just that much better. Especially those MCA titles!
Does anyone know where to buy online the box protector for the 20th century fox 1982 drawer style boxes? (If any)
This was amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have subscribed to your channel to learn more!
Really informative and nicely presented in an easily digestible style! Looking forward to seeing more
I appreciate the kind feedback! Will work on more vids in the future!
Also, are sealed anniversary or collection box set worth anything, since they're definitely not early editions of the tapes included?
VHS isn’t worth anything. Collect for fun, not an investment.
Your collection is fantastic, sadly all my sealed tapes are 90's onwards but they were free. Also the UK have plastic boxes and the tapes are sealed inside the case
They sell a sealing machine.
Would you grade VHS - STAR WARS - 1982 FIRST PRINT / DRAWER not sealed?
If it's in very good condition it could be worth it, to find a nice open box 1982 Star Wars is harder than finding some of the later prints sealed.
New subscriber mad Dawg…got few boxes of vhs most are sealed from an old vhs rental store in a small town ….was hopin u would fill me in on which ones bring the money beans show me da money mad D wit a small pee pee
Show me a sealed graded Tales from the Quadead Zone and I'll be impressed, these are all tapes i've seen for 50 cents at goodwill over the years. Not a single actual rare title.
Great video, your collection is simply mind blowing. I've had the urge to start collecting a few times but man the prices of sealed VHS have gone through the roof. I'm guessing you began collecting many year ago when prices were still reasonable.
Really awesome!
I'm wondering...does a sealed VHS need to have watermarks to be considered a real seal and not a possible reseal? I heard that some places like VGA only grade seals with watermarks. Not sure if that is true or not.
Anyways, really great channel, thanks 😊
most vhs will require water marks , however there are a few that dont have water marks example leprechaun , in those instances they verify the plastic ( seal ) for the method of how it was sealed , e:g vertical , over lap seam etc
Just became 956th subscriber u truly deserve it. Im building my own personal sealed vhs collection and will be grading them soon when i have enough funds even if i have to send in one by one ❤very nice super awesome vhs collection u have my man ❤
Collecton?
I'm trying to find a copy of Karate Kid and although the first print is too expensive for me, I want to find the next print run. But I wish there was some site that had a list of every print run from every movie released, just so I can research what print to afford. Apart from the first print all I see is this 1994 released vhs and i wish i could just easily find out if there's a good in between release for print runs.
VHScollector.com is a site that does show print runs on many tapes... but remember that the box print date is only part of the equation. The red border RCA Columbia box is the first print only when it has back white watermarks - the technical second print is the same red border RCA box, but with side watermarks, and this side watermark tape should be a lot cheaper... then the third print tape is the same red border box, and looks very similar, but it doesn't have the square RCA logo in the center of the front cover, instead it just says 'Columbia pictures presents'... that is the third print (maybe from around 1990-1992). The trick is these three prints all look the same from a far, as the box artwork and design is the same on all, you need to look closely to tell the difference
@@themaddogcollection Where'd you get this specific information? Is this all on that website you linked?
@@adamrodway27 Just from seeing it through my travels. The box print runs should be fairly accurate on the vhscollector.com , however they don't talk about watermarks there. There isn't really a good source for this info that I'm aware of yet.
@@themaddogcollection Dude, this is the exact answer to my question I've been looking for. Got a second run sealed copy of Christine and trying to decide what's a good price to sell it for. Got an offer of $400 so I think I may go for it.
Could you do a series about watermark progressions / type study?
Do any of the grading companies grade used copies, or have plans to grade used copies? I think that will help the market grow with new collectors willing to jump in quicker for a lower barrier to entry. Some of the first print VHS aren’t easily obtained sealed and in those cases a nice used copy may be the best option available.
i believe vhsdna does grade preowned
You wanna learn about imprisoning vhs tapes in plexiglass boxes and then just looking at them?
You’ve come to the right place!
i only collect looney tunes
you should do more videos similar to the cbs fox video about collecting sealed disney tapes, collecting sealed warner tapes, collecting sealed new line tapes, collecting sealed mgm tapes, collecting sealed universal tapes, collecting sealed sony tapes, and even sealed paramount tapes and more
and even a continuation about the cbs fox/fox video tape discussion but go through print runs of Other cbs fox and fox tapes
all of these studios had different types of vhs's , there was even beta tapes Prior to vhs
one interesting example Not in the cbs fox video discussion, was that cbs fox did runs of Vhs's of the Garfield specials
which at the time during the late 80s and 90s, it had been popular airing on network tv, same as another popular cartoon property, the peanuts, in which the peanuts tapes at the time emerged on different labels also, some peanuts specials had been on independant vhs's labels such as media, kartes home entertainment and hi tops video, two of the peanuts films even had appeared on cbs fox video Under the Playhouse video division (a boy named charlie brown and snoopy come home) while the other two peanuts films (race for your life and bon voyage) had appeared on the paramount home video line, that is Until paramount had managed to license the peanuts specials for their vhs's and early dvd's for awhile, and also managed to get the early peanuts films (a boy named charlie brown and snoopy come home) to be on paramount vhs's and dvds along side the later installments
later the peanuts movies would have Blurays for paramount, While the peanuts specials would be distributed by warner
because by doing that, it diversified how they got distributed
I have a question for you, if you don’t mind. You seem to know a lot about the sealed VHS market. I don’t. I’ve been collecting VHS for about 4 years now. Can somebody fake a watermark on the seal? I ask because I just found a sealed Jaws screener for the 1995 collectors edition. On the front of the VHS is reads “Complements of your video sales rep please return after viewing” I only ask because in my mind I don’t know why a video store would need a screener for the 1995 special Ed. release of Jaws. By 95 it had already been released twice in 3 vhs formats. The vhs release is 15 yrs old at this point.
It makes sense that a video store would receive these promo tapes as the promos were made specifically for the retailers and rental markets to try to entice them to carry and promote the release. Even though Jaws is an old film in 1995, it was re-released to promote it to a new generation of buyers. As for the watermarks, technically someone could forge them with stamps etc, though that would be a lot of work and would require a real counterfeit operation. It seems unlikely this would have been done skillfully on a 95 Jaws screener
Do you own a warehouse? Real estate is going to be your biggest problem.
Awesome video! Keep up the good info!
Glad you enjoyed!
I have 100s of VHS but they are American. My Holy Grail are videocassettes from Venezuela and they play on American VCRs. I have about 250 of them all horror. I remember in the beginnings of internet someone living in Denmark wanted to buy my copy of Cannibal Holocaust for $100 and that was back then. I have know that even in Venezuela people are not collecting their VHS!😭 So what's around in the USA that's it! I love videocassettes.👉😀👈
This is excellent
Thanks, brother!
needs more squint
Good video I agree.
Only thing bad about collecting sealed movies is that you can’t watch the awesome movie. ☹️
You know vhs quality looks like shit
@TotallyRadGamingDad Stop kidding yourself hipster
